Thread: Paul Ryan obstructs tax reform with his big government border adjustment tax

Instead of adopting a clean bill drastically cutting the corporate tax to encourage businesses to return to America’s shores, our Establishment, democrat-friendly, Paul Ryan wants to replace the U.S. corporate income tax with a new tax ___ a “border-adjusted” levy on U.S. companies’ domestic sales and imports ___ to offset cutting the corporate income tax.


This is the mindset of our Washington Establishment blood sucking RINOs. Instead of drastically cutting the corporate tax which is now the third highest among 188 Nations, and then cutting federal spending to make up the difference, especially cutting federal spending for functions not authorized by our Constitution starting with closing down the Federal Department of Education, the National Endowment for the Arts, welfare programs which fund the able-bodied who are too lazy to work, etc., Paul Ryan, who should have been voted out of office for the RINO he is, wants to create a new tax so the iron fist of government will not lose its grip around the necks of the American People.


This weasel needs to be voted out of office this coming election, and then punished for conning “conservatives” that he would have their backs.

American citizens are sick and tired of being made into tax slaves and forced to finance the personal economic needs of millions of foreigners who have invaded America’s borders.

Madison sums up our founding father’s trade policy as follows during the creation of our Nation‘s first revenue raising Act


“…a national revenue must be obtained; but the system must be such a one, that, while it secures the object of revenue it shall not be oppressive to our constituents.”


The Act went on to tax specifically chosen imported articles and not one dime was raised by taxing American domestic manufacturers, the working man’s wage, or the returns on invested capital ___ all of which contributed enormously to America becoming the economic marvel of the world! It should also be noted the Act was signed by George Washington on July 4th, 1789, as if to give England a second notice of America’s independence while exercising her power to tax foreign imports in order to fill our national treasury.


In addition to imposing a specific amount of tax on specifically chosen articles imported, our founding fathers imposed an across-the-board tax on imports which was higher for imports arriving in foreign owned foreign built vessels, and discounted the tax for imports arriving in American owned American built ships:


"...a discount of ten percent on all duties imposed by this Act shall be allowed on such goods, wares, and merchandise as shall be imported in vessels built in the United States, and wholly the property of a citizen or citizens thereof." SEE: An Act imposing duties on Tonnage July 20, 1789


This patriotic use of taxing at our water’s edge not only filled our national treasury, but gave American ship builders a hometown advantage and predictably resulted in America's ship building industry to flourish and America’s merchant marine to become the most powerful on the face of the planet. Unfortunately, last time I visited the docks in New York's Hell's Kitchen area, I was very saddened that I could no longer read the names on the docked ships as they all seemed to be foreign owned foreign built vessels...an irrefutable sign of America's decline traceable to the ravages of our international “free trade crowd” and a traitorous sellout of America’s sovereignty to the highest international bidders by members of Congress and our presidents.


The bottom line is, taxing at our water’s edge as our Founding Fathers did helped to pave the way for America to become the economic marvel of the world. And the proof is, by the year1835 America was manufacturing everything from steam powered ships, to clothing spun and woven by powered machinery and the national debt [which included part of the revolutionary war debt] was completely extinguished and Congress enjoyed a surplus in the federal treasury from tariffs, duties, and customs. And so, by an Act of Congress in June of 1836 all surplus revenue in excess of $ 5,000,000 was decided to be distributed among the states, and eventually a total of $28,000,000 was distributed among the states by the rule of apportionment in the nature of interest free loans to the states to be recalled if and when Congress decided to make such a recall.

Whoever is running ryan is running the show - very disappointed that he sailed thru re-election in his state and as speaker. He has stated he believes in open borders, people can come and go, get jobs etc. He also stated weeks ago that DACAs would not be deported which contradicted Trump campaign stance. Now Trump is following ryan - preibus is buddy buddy with ryan and he also stated a non deportation stance. So who is running the pres office? After contradicting Trump on several issues, Trump has a meeting with ryan and announces ryan is a genius - huh!
